A Twist on Red Riding Hood
Using the fairy tale we have read in class, Red Riding Hood, I want you to fracture this fairy tale. As we discussed in class, you can either change the setting and characters to fracture a fairy tale, or fracture it by changing the point of view in which the story was originally written. Get creative!
1. First fill out the graphic organizer I have given you to organize your thoughts, and to make sure that the sequence of events that you created is clear from beginning to end.
2. Once you begin your writing remember to use...dialogue, descriptions of actions, thoughts, and feelings
3. With the developing events and experiences in your story, be sure to...
Use dialogue
Ask yourself, how would this character feel/act in this situation?
Use transitional words
4. Remember to go back and proofread your story. 5. Make sure you bring your completed rough draft of your fractured fairy tale to class on Friday, we will be doing peer reviews in class.
Reflection
I thought the final product of this assignment was very cool. Although the process of getting to my final product was quite confusing and frustrating for me. I think that if I used this technology in elementary grades, I would most definitely have the students work on it in class, so that they don't run into problems alone. It was frustrating even for me, a college student, when I was not in class to ask for help in those moments when I ran into problems. When technology decides to work properly it is a great tool to use when teaching, and it makes learning a lot more fun for students. Even though I hate hearing the sound of my voice, it is pretty neat to be able to see and hear a story that I created.
